Childress company produces three products, k1, s5, and g9. each product uses the same type of direct material. k1 uses 4 pounds of the material, s5 uses 3 pounds of the material, and g9 uses 6 pounds of the material. demand for all products is strong, but only 50,000 pounds of material are available. information about the selling price per unit and variable cost per unit of each product follows. k1 s5 g91selling price$160 $112 $210 variable costs 96 85 144 1. calculate the contribution margin per pound for each of the three products.

The contribution per pound for K1, S5, and G9 is $64 per pound, $27 per pound, and $66 per pound respectively.

Explanation:

The contribution margin shows a difference between selling price per unit and the variable cost per unit.

In equation, it is displayed below:

Contribution per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit

Since, in the question we have to calculate the contribution margin per pound  for each of the three products. So by using the above equation, the calculation can be made which is shown below:

Contribution margin per pound for Product K1

= K1 Selling price per pound - K1 Variable cost per pound

= $160- $96

= $64 per pound

Contribution margin per pound for Product S5

= S5 Selling price per pound - S5 Variable cost per pound

= $112- $85

=$27 per pound

Contribution margin per pound for Product G9

= G9 Selling price per pound - G9 Variable cost per pound

= $210- $144

=$66 per pound

Other costs and production level is immaterial while calculating contribution margin for these three products.

Hence, the contribution per pound for K1, S5, and G9 is $64 per pound, $27 per pound, and $66 per pound respectively.

they have a larger number of potential customers because people anywhere can buy from them. ( d.)
